n May 2015, John Henry and Kazia DeHahn met during a Hot Summer Nights event in Lake Ozark. A few months later he messaged her on Facebook and a relationship started to develop. They dated for a couple of years before John popped the question on March 1, 2018. After getting home from a bad day at work, Kazia was doing laundry when she turned around and was surprised to find John down on one knee. “He definitely turned my bad day into a good one,” she recalls. The couple exchanged vows on September 7, 2019 at The Magic of Midnight in Brumley. They chose the venue because of its beauty and the playground to keep kids busy during the wedding. “We have lots of friends with kids and wanted something other than a kids craft table. Trust me, it was a very good decision. Even we had fun on the playground,” Kazia says. The couple has not gone on a honeymoon yet, but plans to take a vacation for a month in January 2021 to Florida to see family and go to Disney World. John is a parts manager for BJ Marine and Kazia is a stay-at-home mom and substitute teacher at the Central College of Cosmetology.
